William Mackenzie married Cassandra Wood, a beautiful young woman from a notable family. But he was seen as a useless son-in-law in Wood Family. Because of his job as a shop keeper, he was treated like a trash in his wife's family. He even served the Woods without any complaint. However, 3 years passed, there was a man came to him. "General, we need your power. Would you come back to the Kingdom?"
View MoreThe Wood family was currently gathered together in their living room after the engagement ceremony between Shirley Wood, the youngest of the Wood family and Peter Green, the son of the gold mine owner at Carlo Hill.
Cassandra Wood who was the older sister of Shirley, was sitting on the edge and didn't seem to like being there. Several times she saw her husband being a servant to her family. She was upset. Very upset. How could she not? Her husband had no authority whatsoever and was often the target of her family. She really wanted to see her husband fight back, at least once. But, in fact, until they had been married for almost three years, Bill was still the same. Still becoming a useless son-in-law to her family. "Hurry up and fill this glass, Bill!" Shirley ordered her brother-in-law. Bill calmly picked up the bottle of red wine and opened it quickly and refilled Shirley's glass. He then stood next to the old man who was Cassandra's grandfather, Christopher Wood who had a pointed face like a crow. Shirley smiled happily and sipped her wine slowly. "You see, don't you, dear? My brother-in-law is so kind to serve us all so well," she told Peter. Peter Green, the man who would soon marry Shirley, smiled with satisfaction, "That's right. You're very lucky, dear." "Of course. Our Bill has a true heart, he'll do whatever we tell him to do," George Wood said, Shirley's older brother who was also Bill's brother-in-law. Bill didn't respond at all and turned to his wife, "Cassie, do you want me to fill your glass again?" "No, I don't," Cassandra replied curtly. "How about the dessert?" Bill asked. "No need," Cassandra replied and got up from her chair. "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I have to go to my room, I'm so tired," the beautiful woman with blonde hair argued. Not waiting for an answer, she left the living room. Bill quickly took off his apron and followed his wife. The woman did not go to their room, but she went to the rooftop. Cassandra knew her husband was following her, and pushed Bill away and hit him with her body. "Why, Bill? Why do you have to be such a coward? Don't you have any self-respect? Why don't you fight them?" She didn't stop hitting and Bill didn't seem to want to interfere with her venting her anger. Bill just waited until she got tired of hitting him. "What did I do wrong to marry a trash like you?" Cassandra shouted. Bill was silent. He thought answering his wife's words would only make her angrier. "Why do you want to be their servant, Bill? Tell me why!" Cassandra urged, unable to stand it. Bill couldn't possibly tell her the truth. It was still his big secret. "Tell me! Why don't you ever defend yourself? I'm sick of it, Bill. So sick of seeing weak men like you." The woman then began to cry in frustration. When Bill tried to touch her, Cassandra pulled away. "You can't even defend yourself, how can I possibly put up with you? Let's just get a divorce, Bill!" Bill froze in place as soon as he heard that. "Divorce?" "Yes. Let's get divorced! I hate you." "Why we must get divorce?" Bill asked. "Why, you said? After all, we only got married because grandma asked us to, not because we liked each other." Cassandra turned around and looked the other way. Bill approached his wife and touched her arm but she still refused. "I know, but-" "But what? Never mind, it's better if we go our separate ways. There's no point in being together," Cassandra said, still unwilling to look at her husband's face. "I can't." Cassandra laughed sarcastically, "Come on! Look at you! You're just a worker at a fruit stall in the market. What can I expect from you?" The woman sat down on a chair, staring ahead. Bill followed her and sat beside her even though he knew she didn't like it. "What's wrong with that, Cassie?" Cassandra really wanted to strangle her husband. "You know I work in an office, I'm a secretary in a big company. Don't you ever think about how embarrassed I am to have a husband who has such a lowly job?" Cassandra paused for a moment, before continuing, "You have no idea how they mock me. Loser husband, no self-respect, living hand to mouth. I'm the one who-" "Cassie-" "Don't interrupt me yet! Let me talk!" Cassandra pleaded and she was now back on her feet. The woman seemed ready to explode again, and Bill could see that very clearly. "Because of you, I'm underestimated, Bill. So, never mind, let's end it all. I can't take it anymore." Bill shook his head and gingerly touched his wife's hand. "No, I won't. I will never let you go." Cassandra clicked her tongue in exasperation, "If you won't do that, then I'll be the one to sue you in court." "Don't do that. Please, Cassie. Give me a chance to change!" Cassandra sighed tiredly. If only her husband had said that long ago, she would have immediately supported him. However, right now she was really very tired. Waiting for Bill to change for three years was not a short time. She had gone through so many trials and insults in her marriage with Bill, she didn't want to go through it again. For her, it was enough. "Your chance is gone," Cassandra said. Bill began to despair, "Give me a chance to change!" Cassandra was still silent, not even intending to reply. "Just one time," Bill said seriously. Thinking for a long time, Cassandra, who initially looked hesitant, finally replied, "Okay. One chance, if you don't change, I'll file for divorce." A smile appeared on Bill's lips. "Okay." He had been unable to apply for a good job because it meant he had to use his real identity. He couldn't do that because it would mean revealing his identity to the public. He couldn't do it yet, there was still one thing that made him have to hide his true identity. "That's it, dear. I'm coming down." Cassandra groaned in annoyance again but was too lazy to say anything so she just kept quiet as she watched her husband leave the rooftop. When Bill returned to the living room, his grandfather-in-law was already glaring at him. "Where have you been? The guest glass is empty." "Talking to Cassie for a while, Gramps." "Hurry up and fill Peter's glass!" Bill sighed, trying to restrain himself and quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured the drink into Peter's empty glass. Peter smiled mockingly. "Come here for a moment, future brother-in-law!" Peter said, asking Bill to come closer. The man was actually reluctant to respond but he also wanted to know what Peter wanted so he bowed slightly. "Your wife is very beautiful, can I approach her?" Peter whispered in a low voice. Bill instantly stiffened. "How dare you!" Bill shouted.Ben didn't dodge a beat and simply replied, "Yes."Evan De Kruk had already raised his gun and pointed it at Ben's head, looking at the man with a gaze full of deep hatred.Ben could feel both hate and pain just from the look in Evan's eyes."Any last words?" Evan asked with a face filled with raging anger. Ben cast his eyes around him, sweeping over all the soldiers who had fallen because of his mistake. He had never felt so guilty in his entire life. He had killed a king and he had also made all the soldiers under his command face death. I'm sorry, Ben thought to himself.At that moment he felt like a failed leader. Besides not having strong instincts, he also didn't even have the soul of a decisive leader. He remembered some of his men reminding him that the enemy soldier was not King De Kruk. Even though he himself doubted that. It could be said that he chose to dismiss his own thoughts and decided to let his men make him make the wrong decision. Thus, he felt he had no righ
Hearing Benedict Arkitson's question, the soldiers who had stopped attacking on his orders fell silent. Ben looked at several soldiers who also looked confused like him. But, as he paid more and more attention to how Evan De Kruk treated the man he shot, Ben quickly understood that the man was really King De Kruk.Ben's legs went weak instantly but he still tried to keep his sanity and said, "Wait a minute. I didn't shoot his vital organs. Why does he seem to ... lose his life?"Ben wasn't stupid. When he saw Evan hugging the man with a wailing cry while occasionally shaking the body as if to wake him up, it was clear that the man he shot was dead. Those few soldiers of the Ans De Lou Kingdom who were with Ben also couldn't reply to Ben's words.Because, they had all carried out various attacks and never once killed someone. None of their techniques had failed. Ben immediately noticed the other enemy soldiers lying on the ground around the area, but it looked like they were all s
Sion pointed at the front with his index finger where there were so many soldiers lying helplessly on the ground.There were at least more than ten soldiers of the De Kruk Kingdom who had been defeated by the soldiers of the Ans SE Lou Kingdom. They couldn't be dead, but they clearly couldn't put up a fight.Panic immediately accompanied Evan as soon as he saw someone lying weakly on the far right. He was about to run but Sion immediately stopped him by saying, "Your Highness, King Thomas forbids you to go there. You are asked to leave the battlefield immediately."Evan turned to his brother's personal assistant and stared at the young man with a look that wanted to strangle him. "What did you just say?" Evan asked in a cold tone that could make anyone shiver. Sion replied with a stammer of fear, "Your Highness, this is a direct order from King Thomas."Evan gritted his teeth and really wanted to swallow the young man who was still holding his arm alive, "Who do you think you are t
The class one soldier asked by Ben replied quickly, "I don't think so, Commander."Ben took off his protective goggles and replied with a hesitation he couldn't explain, "Why are you so sure?"The soldier calmly replied again, "Commander, in this area is Prince Evan's fighter plane. I think ... he came back here because of that.""Maybe he wanted to leave this area with his plane, Commander," another soldier said. However, Ben seemed dissatisfied with the two soldiers' words. He still felt that the king of the De Kruk Kingdom was most likely there. He swallowed nervously.A few minutes ago he shot someone who initially claimed to be the king of De Kruk Kingdom. He shot him in the organ that was close to the heart. But, he didn't know if the man was wearing a good bulletproof suit. But considering that the man collapsed after he took that shot, Ben believed that the man wasn't wearing a good quality bulletproof suit. Even so, the shot wouldn't have killed him, he was sure of it.A
Had it been someone else who asked, Gareth Dee would have immediately felt offended. However, the one who asked was the crown prince who used to be a very tough war general so he did not feel the slightest resentment towards him. Moreover, he didn't hear any insulting or demeaning tone of voice so the De Kruk Kingdom War General replied firmly, "I'm confident I can deal with them, Your Highness. You need not worry."Evan De Kruk could see the confidence in the man's voice and he nodded his head and replied, "Very well, then I leave them to you."Evan De Kruk then hurriedly left the area to continue his search for his brother. He did not ask any soldiers to accompany him, but Hans Elgor, the royal staff followed the man. Evan actually felt burdened by having Hans around, but he didn't have time to argue with the man so he let Hans trail behind him. When he was about to arrive, he heard the gunshots and immediately accelerated his running. He widened his eyes when he saw a fierce
Thomas did not answer his trusted personal assistant's question and instead said, "You ... must survive to deliver my message."Sion shook his head, "Your Majesty, you will not lose your life. Even though you're dressed like a soldier right now, you're unlikely to be killed.""T-they have a rule not to kill people even if it's their enemy. So, you will definitely be fine. Maybe ... they'll hurt you but it won't be too bad," Sion continued hopefully.Actually, Thomas De Kruk also knew the rules of the Ans De Lou Kingdom explained by Sion. But strangely he himself also didn't understand why he felt as if he was really going to die. However, he didn't want to leave his younger brother without a single message.The king who had no descendants said again as if not wanting to run out of time, "Sion, listen to me!Sion put on a sad face but pricked up his ears so he wouldn't miss anything the king said."Also tell Evan that none of this is his fault."Thomas wet his lips first and sighed so
